Try this savory dip when you want a "make ahead" option for a party, or a potluck. If you're hosting a bridal or baby shower, this is also an easy and deliciously different filling for tea sandwiches. It's named for my mother, Dolores, who is always asked to bring this creamy spread to every occasion. Thanks, Mom, for sharing the super secret family recipe!

INGREDIENTS

8oz. [227g] regular or light cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 t [7.5 mL] horseradish
3 T [36g] mayonnaise
1 1/2 T [18g] yellow mustard
1 small red or yellow onion, grated or very finely diced
pinch of salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, add mayonnaise, mustard and horseradish to softened cream cheese, mix well.
To creamed cheese mixture, add onion and pinches of salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate mixture one hour to meld flavors.
